Default Swapping Manifolds

Has anyone looked at the G8GT intake manifold or the 5.3L Truck manifold that have DOD/AFM If they are better maybe we could use one of them for cheap option

I was thinking about the G8 manifold because they have AFM, someone will try sooner or later.

Completely different port design on the L76 heads (rectangular vs. cathedral). The G8 intake manifold is not compatible with the LS4.

I knew someone would know. But that still leaves the truck motor intakes, however not sure we would gain any power from them.

I know the truck 5.3 heads flow more air so the intake should also.

The 5.3L truck intake won't fit under our stock hood.
